Two experimental PV-grid connected systems of 8.8 kWp and 36 kWp rating have been designed, installed and interfaced with Abu Dhabi utility grid. The PV arrays of both systems are interfaced with the grid via single phase grid-tied inverters. The inverters are installed in three separate groups that each injects 50 Hz electricity into one phase of the utility grid at the 0.4 kV level. The main ...

The organizers of the Utility Scale PV Yield Optimization Conference & Expo, gained exclusive access with Michael Levi, Senior Director Worldwide Marketing from Satcon to talk about the inverter market for utility solar projects, how they are positioning themselves in a competitive market and how reliable are these key components. Q1: What segment of the solar market are you ...

Photovoltaic (PV) water pumping systems commonly use permanent magnet dc motors because of their simple circuit configuration and control strategy. However these systems require frequent maintenance. On the other hand, PV pumps driven by ac motors employing a dc-dc converter followed by an inverter use more number of power semiconductor switches which will add to the cost of the system and suffer ...

Detailed analysis, simulation and hardware results of grid connected inverter with maximum power point tracker and power factor control in Malaysian climate are presented. A six-switch topology inverter with symmetrical pulse width modulation (PWM) switching technique is used. A low-pass filter is incorporated in the circuit to filter out unwanted harmonics and produce a sinusoidal AC current. ...
